The city of Hartford exists within less than a 2 hour drive to each of the 4 largest cities in New England (NYC, Boston, Providence, Springfield), at the crossroads of major north-south and east-west interstate highway routes, and in the midst of a major downtown redevelopment effort.

In 2009 Hartford was ranked the 5th best place to launch a small business by CNN-Money. Within any given day, hundreds, if not thousands of innovative, ambitious, and business-minded individuals are gathering together to make their mark, to change the world, just a short drive away.

This meetup seeks to evolve into a startup catalyzer and clearing house for regional business/startup events. Call it a fraternal mecca for new business ideas, conversation, and community. Our goal is simple: a genuine Mastermind of local business entrepreneurs.
